A decision on plans to transform a Beeston pub site into student accommodation has been pushed back.

Last week, councillors deferred making a decision concerning the former Queen's Hotel, Queen's Road, to allow for more discussion about the provision of parking at the site.

A Broxtowe Borough Council spokesman said: "A decision on the change of use from public house to a house of multiple occupation of Queen's Hotel, Beeston, was deferred to allow for further discussion with applicant about provision of more parking."

The plans have been submitted by a private developer called Rocco Labbate.

A spokesman for Swish Architecture, the planning agent working on behalf of the developer, said last week: "The Queen’s Hotel in Beeston is a traditional public house that when open would have been a considerable source of noise and late-night activity in a mainly residential area.

"The current scheme for the site has been created in close collaboration with our client and the Broxtowe Borough Council planning officers, with the goals of conserving the existing building and positively improving the area in mind.

"The design has changed considerably since its first iteration in order to achieve an appropriate density on the site, with the introduction of off-street parking."
